  \caption{\	extbf{Firm and Employee Donations and Lobbying of Specific Politicians, First-Time Donation in 3 Years:} The level of analysis is the firm-politician-year, and the data include all publicly traded manufacturing firms (NAICS 2-digit codes 31-33) and members of Congress between 2008 and 2018. The dependent variable is a dummy which equals 1 if firm $i$ lobbied the legislative activity of a politician $j$ in year $t$. $Donationt$ equals 1 if firm $i$ donated to a politician $j$ for the first time in 3 years $t$, and 0 otherwise, whereas $Donation Amount_{t}$ is the logged amount of the 3-year first-time donation. The coefficients come from ordinary least squares regressions, using combinations of firm, politician, year, and firm-politician fixed effects. All models control for politician partisanship, majority status, committee chairmanship, and being member of the top 4 powerful committees. The standard errors are clustered by firm.}
